Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

12oz. bottle. Hazy orange/amber color with a small white head. Sweet, spicy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Bitter hop flavor surprised me on first sip as I didn’t detect any hops in the aroma. This was followed by the aforementioned sweet baking spices. Not bad, but I’m really not high on pumpkin beers.

Pours orangey gold with a white head. Smells of vanilla, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace. Tastes sweet with some nice cinnamon notes. Slightly bitter but thick mouthfeel.

Cinnamon and pumpkin in the aroma , brown sugar and malt in the palag\te. Dry hop finish. Pumpkin taste really increased as it warmed. I really enjoyed this one.

not a bad beer, but has an unnatural soapy floral taste. This is mostly apparent on the finish. weakly bittersweet. tastes like it’s brewed with quality ingredients, but didn’t come out quite right. Perhaps if pumpkins were a flower, this would be a decent pumpkin ale. (Hint: try the weyerbacher pumpkin ale!)

on draft linwood bar and grill in boston. poured typical deep copper red color with a mushroom colored head. nose of spice and saaz hops. flavor melds together clove, nutbmeg, allspice thing with a definative hop character. rather full bodied. typical for this beer.

Draft At The Ginger Man NY. Hazy copper color with a moderate off-white head. Good pumpkin pie aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Full sweet well balanced flavor with a pleasing finish of long duration.

12oz bot....."The soapy bouquet beer"....If it takes longer than 25 minutes to drink a pint, its baaad beer..suffering...suffering...ok..had to hold nose and suck it down...bitter, small concentration of spice...soapy aftertaste...color is light...no head...no appeal...no thanx

Pours amber with a small white head. Smells like burned pumpkin pie. Tastes the same. Cigarette ashes and thanksgiving dinner at grandma’s house. Not my kind of thing.
